Method-dependent biases in cell type detection between single-cell and single-nucleus RNA sequencing in the photosymbiotic acoel Praesagittifera naikaiensis

Ryô Nakamura, Mayuko Hamada, Kenji Kobayashi…·Tatsuya Sakamoto

The paper compares scRNA-seq and snRNA-seq in Praesagittifera naikaiensis, finding snRNA-seq better recovers neural transcripts and reduces symbiont reads.

Transcription factors that specify cell fate activate cell cycle regulator genes to determine cell numbers in ascidian larval tissues

Kenji Kobayashi, Miki Tokuoka, Hiroaki Sato…·Yutaka Satou

The paper shows that transcription factors controlling cell fate also regulate cell cycle genes like Cdkn1.b and Myc, linking cell differentiation and division in ascidian embryos.
